A little luau

How is your summer going!???? I can’t believe that it’s the end of July!! Ayaya!! We have had a packed summer so far with some work, lots of fun and memories and home improvements!! It always feels good to check off a few things on the to do list when you get a little time off! I’m enjoying dressing for backyard bbq’s, birthday celebrations and brunch! So here’s a little ode to luau and all the magic that comes with them!

Loving a linen floral dress. It ALWAYS brings vacation vibes! Adding gold and a shade lighter metallic turqoise, a bit of white and everything comes together!! All I’m missing is the grass skirt!!

Try a simple long sarong or extra large scarf! Wrap around your waist for a long or short skirt by folding in half. Stripes, no matter the color, and white become a go to basic!! The pink went well with the colorful print! Staying on trend with a bit of macrame with the bag and for added texture my visor and sandals!

Add your own twist of luau with bright colorful cotton pants! Use a scarf as a top by tieing the bottom two corners of your scarf around your waist and the top two around your neck!

Here’s another take on luau with a silk body suit and layered beads! Never enough details.

Until next style,

Summer Metallics

The summer solstice is upon us and it is time to bring out the metallics and shine! (Insert Rhianna’s Diamonds song here please!) Sun’s out so it’s time to get noticed with fresh and new takes on fashion.

In my wardrobe metallics are a neutral, thank you Tori Burch! Gold and white are a perfect pair. This combo give an angelic and classic vibe!! Add in some linen and you have the perfect light weight and breathable summer go to!

I encourage you to wear one piece of your wardrobe differently then you ever have before. What I mean by this is make a skirt a top or a strapless dress. The top below is a skirt! Get creative with what you have!! The more ways you can wear one piece the more outfits you can create!!

If you aren’t ready for the full on commitment of buying metallic clothes than add them in with your accessories. Accessories can dress up or down an outfit and gives a wonderful pop to any summer look. Add a trendy accessory like a turban!! They can be worn by themselves or adorned with pins for a bit of added fun.

Another great metallic is silver. It works so well with all shades of grays and creates a monochromatic fashion statement!! Add diamonds with your silver fashion to really enhance the metallic pop!

Gun metal is a striking metallic for the season. If you wear a statement piece (Like the pants below) then keep the top simple. To tone any outfit down add denim.

This time of the year fashion calls for metallics, brights and bling!! Investing in metallic jewelry, accessories and shoes is a way to incorporate a little sparkle to your hot weather wardrobe and be able to use for seasons to come!!

Lets support each other and inspire with creativity through fashion with #getahinch!!!

Do you have a summer metallic go to?

Until next shine….
